INDIANAPOLIS, IND Nov. 27.-At the

The resolutions recite the qualifications OF
Powderly, deplore his announced inten-

PowderIy's position toward anarchy is
heartily endorsed, and the resolutions
add: "In our judgment no good purpose
Can be accomplished by afiliation with
any order that enGorses the adoption Of

lawful purposes" The resolution closed
by expressing the belief that the Chicago

those who, failing to accomplish the
adoption of bad measure in the General
Assembly, have resorted to reven g full
measures unworthy the support OF true

In considering the plot to impose upon
the people through the agency of the fed
ersl government the burden snd RESPONSE
bility Of the telegraphic business of the
country, we have already shown that the
acquisition OF the telephone service
would be an essential part Of the huge
undertaking.
We have also expressed the opinion
that If the United States should once en-
ter upon the business Of accepting as
government charges the control of CORE
rpoDdence and news facilities now oper-
ated by unofficial corporations for pubIIc
use, it would be impracticable aud illogi-
cal to drsw the line short Of the PROPOSE
lions enunciated by George and the So
cialists.
For example, with the government in
charge of our electrical communications
as well IS our msil facilities, with the tel
egraph and telephone wires as much I'M
der official guardianship as the mail bags
and postal cars, how forcibie would De
the argument that the electric light must
also be part of the government system.
In thickly settled communities the use
versal. The danger from wires used for
lighting is greater than from any othe
electrical conductors. In cities electri
light wires must 60 into the same sub
ways, under the same management as the
telegraph wires and those connected with
telephones, and il small communities
they must stretch over the same les and
houses. How obvious and plausible then,
is the argument that ali three kinds OF
sle;tric conductors should be under the
same direction in the interest of good
service aud public safety2 Like reason
ing would spply TO the workings OF cleo
trical wires for the transmission of power
which will updoub ediy coma into gen.
ersl use within few years And SO, if
We once admit the control of the govern
mens, through the postt flee or other
branches of the public service, over the
telegraph, Re would necessarily open q
vast field Of official monopoly to the ex
clusion OF private enterprise in the use of
electricity alone.
As for the express business, it already
borders closely On the functions of the
postoffice, and the argument in favor of
an extension OF the parcels post system
on the plan existing in some foreign
countries is far stronger than that for a
government telegraph.
AS we proceed with the cons liberation
of the postal telegraph scheme We find the
field OF government monopoly widening
before US untii, If We ADOPT the theories
of men like Sherman, We must come fully
up to the standard Of the extinction OF in

Men Who Regard War as Relic OF
Barbarism.
LONDON, July 13th.-Sir Wilfred Lawson
presided to-day over the meeting of the
International Arbitration Association. The
Secretary's report referred at length to the
cooperation of similar associations in
America, and expressed a hope for the
formation of Joint Commission to con-
slider the advisability of creating an Anglo
American Arbitration Association. David
Dudley Field, in moving the approval
of the petition to ParlIment in favor
of the creation of such a tribunal as
that proposed, expressed hearty sympathy
with the cause. Americans were, he said
out of conceit with war. They had had
enough of it. Although England paid
dearly for the Geneva arbitration, the re,
suit brought more honor to England than
the greatest military victory she had ever
secured. There were, Field admitted, i'm.
mense obstacles opposed 10 the principle OF
arbitration, but whenever members of the
Association saw a chance for educating
public opinion on the auestion-whenevel
| they saw chance for applying the princi
pie of arbitratlon-they would increasingly
work for the cause.
